It was onlya few weeks agowhen Square-Enix called Sony out on its confusing marketing of the PlayStation 3, due to the fact that the machine was being pushed as a different type of system at different times. Is it a multimedia player? Is it a computer? Is it a games system? Just what demographic is Sony trying to reach with its schizophrenic marketing? Well, Kaz Hirai answered Square-Enix and straight up told us “The PS3 is a game machine....
I have a long love affair with Japanese falling block puzzle games. AlthoughMagical DropandMoney Idol Exchangerare my favorites,Puyo Puyohas a place in my heart for being the first one I loved. It’s a classic that has stood the test of time. Most of the previous variations in the series hold up well enough to make a new entry feel a bit unnecessary. Sure, it’s the 20th anniversary but that’s no reason to make a new game, especially when you consider thatPuyo Puyo 15th Anniversaryedition already summed up the history pretty well....

Thanks to theDestructoid community blogs, I now cannot look at thisformerlybeautiful screenshot ofThe Elder Scrolls V: Skyrimwithout seeing a terrible truth. That truth is the unquestionablepenisfingerstanding proud on the end of that mage’s hand. What’s worse is that it’s one of those gnarled, crooked, gross looking penises. The kind that you’d imagine Gary Busey has. If you look at it as long and intensely as I have, you’ll notice the whole hand seems to suffer from withered penisflesh syndrome, which is something I can no longer scour from my mind....

To celebrate the biggest and best videogame release of the year, this week’s quiz is dedicated to one of the greatest multiplayer games ever created:Bomberman. This series has … wait,Halowho? No, I am talking about today’s release of theBomberman Live!Bomb-Up Pack 2 expansion for Xbox Live Arcade starring Mr. Destructoid as aselectable character. Priorities, people! So, where was I? Ah yes …Bomberman. If you are a fan and avid player of the series, this quiz might still be alittletough, but even if you have never had the pleasure of playing this amazing set of games you should still give the quiz a try....
While we have already done roughly 65,537 posts on action-adventure/puzzle downloadable titleThe Maw, one more can’t hurt, right? Word on the street has it that the PC version of the game went up onSteam,Greenhouse, andDirect2Drivetoday. What are you waiting for — go get it! While I have not yet met anyone who didn’t enjoyThe Maw, I’m sure the mere fact that I’m mentioning it will cause the first comment on this post to be about how the game is “complete sh*t, and anyone who eventhinksof liking it is a f**king moron,” which is fine in my book....
Elite Beat Agents For years, gamers have waxed poetic about how certain videogame moments have made them cry. Whether it is killing off a beloved character or presenting a poignant plot twist, it seems more and more games nowadays are trying their best to get the most hardcore gamers around the world to shed a collective tear. But, in all honesty, how many games have resulted in actual, physical sobbing? Getting a little extra emotional or slightly teary-eyed during a scene is a whole lot different than actually letting the waterworks flow....
Much to our chagrin, Destructoid’s smelliest podcast will be recording tomorrow. Once again, Jim Sterling, Wardrox and Atheistium convene and discuss the latest happenings that European listeners (or idiots) might like to hear. This episode will naturally be spent tearing Activision a new hole forpricingModern Warfare 2at £54.99. We might discuss other things, including your very own listener questions. Ask away and see if we’re not too tired and sick of each other to actually read them out by then....
The Saboteuris going to make World War II games a little different. It’s not an FPS, for one thing, nor does it simply place you in famous battles and say, “Shoot the Nazis.” You instead take on the role of a bitter Irish race car driver who is tasked with sabotaging Nazi operations in occupied Paris. As if that wasn’t good enough, the game is also going to throw in some Parisian sexiness as well....
